That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

fair enough. some people like the closure.

because then you're not alone in your grief.

I know why she did what she did, no closure needed.

[ and she shuts that down real fast. ]

I think Maggie lucked out. She still very young when our parents died. She doesn't remember them as clearly and that's for the best. I don't mind being alone in my grief if it spares her.

good.

that sounds like what a big sister ought to feel.

[catsuiting]

I've been a lot of things in my life, but I'm always her sister. It's just me and her now, she's my only tie in this whole world. I've never been a very sister to her. Not in ways that matter when you're the one affected by it but I try.

[dead_tongue]

I think trying matters to people.

[catsuiting]

Sure, but "trying" doesn't mean shit when you're 15 years old and your sister is so embarrassed with what her life's become, she avoids you to spare you. Doesn't mean shit when a few years down the line when she, a literal criminal, avoids you because her life is now too messy. It's hard to see it from the other perspective when you just feel abandoned.

Families are messy.
